Different phases of the war and the relation of Americans to the struggle were discussed by the editor of The Washington Times, James Schermerhorn, publisher of the De troit Times, and Ma. Gen. "Joe" Kuhn, commander at Camp Meade. Musla and "stunts added much to the entertainment. The editor of The Times declared that the Intelligence of the allies would win the war. The editors, the reporters, and special writers," he said, were not called In by the Treasury Department when the Liberty loan was floated, but skilled advertising experts were asked to aid In the preparation of slogans and appeals to the public. 'It Is neither the goose-step nor men that win wars.1 he said, "but In telligence.
